I like the graphite -- goes with the Forgelines.....

I even thought about carbon fiber stripes --- to pick up on the wing.... IDK

I'm pretty over "carbon fiber" everything.

A buddy that owns a boat dealership just picked up a line of boats and said they're almost all carbon fiber - but they're painted etc.... The stuff is weaving itself in to everything these days <see what I did there?> LOL

Can't do the Bud Moore -- that's black and red -- and I know another guy that's into those colors and I've eaten enough of his sh!t....

There are too many Parnelli clones for me.... I like it -- but I want someone to be able to say -- remember that XXXXX mustang (not one lap wonder) -- and if it's PJ colors nobody will know which one you're talking about.

I'm not a yellow guy - but damn the car stands out on track..... I could do the Highland Green because it would be "did you see that dark green mustang with the huge wing"? But guess that carries over to the PJ color as well.

It’s an easy call

I get what your saying about it looking like all the rest. Darker colors tend to draw heat rather than reflect it, so I would be looking at lighter colors personally, or a 2 tone.

If you guys are ok with spending his money I vote with Rob, green and yellow with the 5.2 flat plane!

Maybe this goes on each door. Touch up paint will be easy.

There are a lot of Mustangs already in grey.... all kind of grey...matte, flat, nardo, destroyer etc.

I would go olive gold / olive green as main color combined with flat black/flat grey and/or carbon parts.

Something like this and make a modern version of a trans am racer:

That's a great looking car. The color is very nice. I'd go for something along these lines. I think the graphite stripes would go well with the color and keep your tie into the wheels also. You could always do offset stripes like Mayhem.

GregWeld 08-29-2018 09:24 AM

As I had suspected!!!
 
After all the info that had flowed to me regarding “less than stellar parts and services” ...... a friend of our Lat-G community found this.

I was just thinking today about how fast the car was that weekend and how much better it will be. Tuning was/is needed, the belly panels were never on (aero) and the driver couldn’t make more then a few laps at a time...never really got the feel for it. I’m just motivating that’s all, plus I said with all due respect...and he knows I’m a jackass. :hello:
